Not from the ice cream! it was still over 100 F after the sun went down - everyone had lots of water - and to much water = that bloated feeling:D

That would have been cool to see. Whenever we're in FL we see very few MINI's.

Were these all Phoenix folk or did they come from outlying area's too?

We are all members of the DMC ( www.dynamicminicollective.com ) and most were from the metro-Phoenix area. We have 3 chapters in Arizona - Desert Rat Pack ( Metro-Phoenix area ), Madmen ( Tucson area - south central AZ. ) and the Sierra Vista chapter ( southern AZ. ) Total membership is over 100 and growing fast - the club is only 2 years old. I just joined in February of this year after I bought my first New MINI ( to replace my 63 Austin ). I can say we are a very active bunch!! One run per month, one ice cream social per month, one car show per month, and whatever else we have time for:D

I think we have 1 or 2 members that live in the UK and visit here often - we see then about once or twice a year.
The wife and I can't wait to get to come visit the UK - Scotland especially. She has a family history from Scotland ( I don't know exactly where?? ) and mine seems to come out of the Kent area sometime in the 1600's ( we were probably thrown out of the country for something we did:evil: ). Once the kids are a little older we plan on visiting. If we can wait that long!!;)

AND if any of you all from Scotland ever make it to Arizona - let us know - we would love to show you some Arizona MINI's and good Southwest food:p

At the end of the world tour and cruise, after I win the lottery ;) you'll be getting a call so we can drop in! :D:D:D:p


A thought just struck me...
..Some of your members from the UK wouldn't happen to be a Hamish and Nicola (sorry, can't remember their surname.. Donald maybe) from around the Perth area in Scotland? I might just fall off my seat if they are. Mind you, they're certinly more into the Classic Mini thing... :D

Cool photo John.

If we're ever in the Phoenix area, we'll be sure to give you a shout first. And when you make the trip over to Scotland, let us know and I'm sure we can organise a wee meet to say HI!
